I fell yesterday and broke both bones in my leg just above my ankle last night and had to have surgery. I am in the hospital and thus unable to get any posts up.
I'm so sorry to hear that! I did the same thing several years ago, probably in the same location as you, so I know how you are feeling. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
That's awful! I've never broken any bones so I haven't idea how painful that must be!! Really, take it easy for a while. I really hope you get better soon!!
So sorry to hear that. Praying for your speedy recovery. With a break that bad, I think it would be good to have a bone scan and a check for an M Spike.
Ouch! I can totally sympathize because I did the same thing in March 2010. I basically broke my foot off right above the ankle. It sounds like yours is pretty similar so now you probably have metal in yours. I just got mine taken out in January (was supposed to have it out last March but was prego). If yours is the same as mine I'm afraid you're in for a long road to recovery. I know I was in a wheelchair for about 6 months & I did physical therapy for at least 6 months as well.
I hope that your recovery goes a lot faster than mine did :)
{{{Hugs}}} Kathy! How awful! I hope everything heals up quickly, and take care of yourself!! I've broken my foot twice, although not my leg, but I can sympathize!
Kathy, how terrible! Don't worry about your blog. It will be here when you've recovered and so will your followers (well, me for sure). You concentrate on getting the care you need and getting better. I'm keeping you in my thoughts.
Wishing you a speedy recovery. At least we know you will have plenty to do to keep you busy and won't need any reading materials. Hope you have a somoeone to keep watch over you. Take care!
Oh Kathy! I'm so sorry! I know you work hard on your blog, but it will still be here. Just concentrate on getting better! Prayers and thoughts are with you!
Ooooh! so sorry to hear that - here's two links that came up when I googled 'what to eat or drink after breaking a bone': http://osteodiet.com/2008/06/25/top-10-ways-to-heal-a-broken-bone-faster/ and http://www.livestrong.com/article/265314-how-to-eat-healthy-to-heal-broken-bones/
Ooh, so sorry!! Take it easy enjoy as much of your break as you can!! (That could be a pun if you want it to be. Unless you're in pain, and then I didn't intend anything.)
Hi, your blog really touches me, have been reading it for awhile... Just wanted you to know about a website i started ReadYourBiblesChurch.com... It's a place for Bible study guides.. I also put a forum in that can be viewed from a mobile device.. I couldn't find where to contact you privately so I'm commenting, hope that is okay. :) God Bless! Jenn.
I am so sorry to hear this. I hope that the surgery goes well and no complications arise. Please watch carefully for blood clots, they are very dangerous and occur sometimes with breaks. Hope you are better soon :)
Oh dear Kathy! I just returned home from a week on a cruise and saw this while checking my emails. I do hope you are not in too much pain and that you recover quickly. I will be praying for you.
Oh no! I am a bit behind reading my blogs and just saw this. I hope you mend quickly. I'm sure you just so annoyed at not being able to move around, but please do what the doctor says.
